I haven't used soap in the shower for at least five years. Only when cleaning hands, and I do use antiperspirant) I just scrub myself with my hands in the shower top to bottom. (I am bald tho).
No one has ever mentioned me smelling bad, even my current co-workers who do say it if someone is smelling.
What kind of antiperspirant are you using that doesn’t require soap to remove it? They almost always have a residue that keeps them in place that doesn’t normally just wash off.
I have some that is for sensitive skin without any additives. I just scrub my armpits really well for a bit longer under running water.
But now that you mention it, I got a new brand of antiperspirant recently that I've had issues with, so I might just need to use soap for that.
